ENRAGED GOB I'illS UPON STEAMER AGENT- Sold Tickets for Passage on Yo--, semite, but Vessel Did Not : ; Stop Tor Them. '' William H. Baker, agent at Oak street dock, was up against an enraged mob Christmas day and for a while It looked aa It his fate might have been to fur nish food for tha fishes. The crowd Included men, women and children to the number of IS, and every one seemed determined to get retribution. It hap pened that Agent Baker had sold the above mentioned crowd tickets on the steam schooner Tosemita to Ban Fran cisco. The fine and commodious craft was scheduled to sail from Rainier a day or so beiore Christmas, but she did not touch here, and so Agent Baker sent the passer gers to Astoria, where. In his opinion, they would ba sura . to catch the boat. ' But either Captain Johnson of the Tosemlte did not understand his In structions or else he Ignored them, for when h left the river he never looked toward Astoria, but passed right on In the middle of the channel over tha bar and out to sea. Tha passengers, who had lugged their baggage to the Astoria wharf, waved handkerchiefs and yelled themselves into hysterica at the passing craft, but this availed nothing, for with out even blowing a salute, she churned onward until hr smoke finally disap peared in the distance Ilka a speck of cloud. , A 'long and spirited indignation meet ing was beld right then and there by the disappointed passengers, and It waa de cided to return to Portland and get even with the man who had sold the stripe of paper Vhat entitled them to a first- class passage on the boat that had left them at tha mercy of the Astoria hotel men. ' t ' Returning to Portland, 'the disappoint ed travelers promised to sue the com pany and take the steam schooner Tose mlte bodily for tha trouble, not to men tion what they Intended doing to Agent Baker, but the agent's winning ways finally made good and tha passengers departed from the dock with their fares refunded In addition to tha money they had expended on tha . little 'side trip to the city by the sea. Now Agent Baker thinks he had a close call, and yet he waa not to, blame. SCOTTISH RITE MASONS HOLD ANNUAL ELECTION Members 'of tha Oregon consistory.
